Do people want longer lifespans, or just healthspan? Should longevity advocates avoid “life extension,” or lean into it?
I just published a preprint exploring this, drawing on mythology & modern data, & what it means for advancing longevity research.

I'm so happy to see this amazing film concept get the attention it deserves, from @xprize and others. It's been many years since Tim first discussed it with me and the team at @LifespanRI, and the timing of such a project moving forward now could not be more important.
In this latest Lifespan Interview, filmmaker Tim Maupin shares recent updates on the development of "The Last Generation to Die", a near-future film about what happens when the first true rejuvenation technologies arrive, including its recent selection as a top-65 contender in the Future Vision @xprize Tim's history working with the team at @LifespanRI, and the creation of @JellyfishDAO.

In our August 2026 Rejuvenation Roundup: new research on senescent cells, brain aging, metabolic health, thymus regeneration and exercise, plus interviews on precision health and tracking health rather than just disease. We also highlight a new AI “virtual cell” model and an LRI white paper making the economic case for democratizing rejuvenation technologies.

In this new whitepaper, we explore why democratizing access to rejuvenation therapies is an economic imperative, showing how extending healthy lifespans can reduce healthcare costs, strengthen productivity, and create broad societal and economic benefits.

* Special thanks to @KarlPfleger at AgingBiotech.info, "whose therapy database helped to inform this roadmap."
As the year comes to a close, we’re building momentum for what’s next.
LRI advances the science that targets aging, & the systems that turn breakthroughs into real-world impact.
Join us for another year of driving longer, healthier lives for all!

Great work by @JellyfishDAO. Now more than ever it is important to paint what positive visions of the future can look like, and its gratifying to see the old “Interviews from the Future” ideas Tim brainstormed with us @LifespanRI back in 2021 now coming to life.
What if our descendants look back at our acceptance of aging the way we look back at medieval medicine?
We interviewed them.
Dystopian futures are easy to imagine. Optimistic futures take vision and courage to build.
